Links & Pipes in a Site with 2 connections

[dani210867]

Hi, I have a site connected with 2 mpls links to a headquarter. Boths mpls links are active and we need use them to pass VCoIP.

We use Cisco SX20 and MCU Codian 4501 and VCS Control.

My question is how should do we create pipes and links to reflect the use of both mpls links.

Best regards.

​Assuming the MCU and some SX20 endpoint are located on HQ and SX20 endpoints deployed on Branch site.

• You would need to create separate subzones on VCS for the MCU and SX20 endpoints for HQ and Branch site.
• Create 4 pipes to be assigned on the links between subzones and to be able to assign bandwith on the links.

- Pipe A for bandwidth assignment for HQ (Node 1) connecting on Link 1 to MPLS.
- Pipe B for bandwidth assignment for Branch Site (Node 2) connecting on Link 1 to MPLS.
- Pipe C for bandwidth assignment for HQ (Node 3) connecting on Link 2 to MPLS.
- Pipe D for bandwidth assignment for Branch Site (Node 4) connecting on Link 2 to MPLS.

• Create link to interconnect HQ subzone Node 1 and Branch site subzone Node 2 and apply the pipes on it.
• Create link to interconnect HQ subzone Node 3 and Branch site subzone Node 4 and apply the pipes on it.

Sample diagram:

Refer to VCS admin guide and take a look from page 218 on Bandwidth Control.
